Comment:This medication was prescribed to me in March. Prior to going on this med for vertigo, migraine related, I had lost 30 lbs and was able to cut my BP meds in half. Since being on it I have regained all the weight even though I ate very clean. It also reduced my desire to get out to the gym, reduced libido and my BP meds had to be increased again. It is not my desire to have to take more meds to deal with the side effects of this poison. I went off and will deal with the vertigo like I have for the past 40 years.Hide Full Comment
